MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad™ Development Kit

(MSP

‑‑

EXP430FR5969)

The

MSP-EXP430FR5969

(or the "FR5969 LaunchPad") is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) for

the

MSP430FR5969

microcontroller. It contains everything needed to start developing on the MSP430

FRAM platform, including on-board emulation for programming, debugging, and energy measurements.
The board features buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface as well as a super
capacitor (super cap) that enables standalone applications without an external power supply.
